Devlog 20: UI and Trading

Got the backend for the trading system done and overhauled the UI to go with it.

Trading System

I made a trading system. It generates contracts with the recipient’s name, the resource being traded, and the price. Basically the foundation for the aircraft system.

UI

Redesigned the time and date display because it looked kinda rough. Also switched the economy back to money instead of the resource, makes way more sense for trading. Oh, and vehicles now actually speed up when you speed up time, which is pretty cool.

What’s Shipping vs Later

I’m not including construction vehicles in the initial release because that’s like 40+ more hours of work and I want to actually finish this before Thirdspace starts (I’m gonna compete too). So yeah, that’s going to a post-launch update.

Still gotta do:

• Get the excavators working (mines) ~5h
• Finish the trading system ~3h
• Fix vehicle physics again 😭~5h
• Random bugs and polish ~5h

Hope I can get that done this week. Tryna hit at least 14sd/h so I can hopfuly buy that Framework 13 lol
